New doors

We've been considering what to do with the carriage house apartment and are thinking of actually using it for its original purpose - storing carriages.  There is a lot of work before we can get to that point but one of the first steps now that the stonework is completed will be to get new doors for the carriage way.   The originals were removed in the 1950's and replaced with French doors and windows.  

We've found a local blacksmith who will make the hinges and in the spring I hope to have time to actually make the doors.  They will be relatively simple since the intent is to imitate what we expect the originals to have been.
